Introducing Esmae Rose McPeak, born 8th February 2016 at 6:03 weighing 9lb 2oz :) Her dad Jamie (forum name J.Mcpeak) & I met on this website in December 2014 after I posted a thread about applying for a job at my LFS. Now we're engaged, have a beautiful baby girl & are saving for our first...

Hi everyone, So I was just doing a daily check of all of the fish in my tank & I noticed the "cap" that protects the snail when it goes inside it's shell has come off. I have 4 other Sulawesi snails in the tank, 2 are babies, & they're absolutely fine. I've added some cucumber into the tank to...

I've kept fish for 8 years but I'm terrible at all of the equipment stuff. I got a used 24 gallon tank yesterday from a friend & the filter seems a bit iffy. It worked fine at my friends but I took it all apart when I got it home, gave the sponges a very brief wash in a bucket of tank water...

I came to clean out the tank today & found this little guy comes out of nowhere :D I've got 3 Sulawesis in the tank but didn't even know I had a male & female. I'd read online that their breeding process is mostly unknown & I see why :L no clue how old this guy is, I've had the snails for about...

Hi all, I acquired a male bristlenose pleco from a friend who thought he was eating all of her small fish & as I have no fish small enough to be eaten, I said I would have him. BIG MISTAKE. I'd read in one of my many fish books that BN plecos squabble with other bottom dwelling fish. Well I...

Hi everyone, so as the title suggests, I don't get cycling at all. I've watched loads of YouTube videos, read posts & trawled the internet for information but from what I can see, there aren't many step-by-step guides to cycling a fish tank. All of the step-by-step guides I've seen are quite...

Pubby is a cold water pleco, about 6 years old & about 20cm long. I have no clue about what species he is because I inherited the tank & wasn't told anything about him. Any suggestions welcome Typically British!

Okay I have no idea where to put this post so I thought here would be best. I just applied for a job at Maidenhead Aquatics (my lfs, British people know where I mean XD ) & I am absolutely crapping myself! It's an amazing chain of stores with a really good reputation & I'm scared I won't be good...

I bought two Orandas from my lfs last Thursday (29th May) & I'm not sure if they're fighting or establishing a hierarchy etc... Chip is a red & white capped Oranda & Dale is a black Oranda, both measure 9/10cm long so they're still juveniles I suppose & Dale is definitely smaller than Chip, but...

This is my not-so-little-anymore girl, Squeak and she is 6 years old. See that black liquid stuff in her eyes? She's blind. She wasn't born with no sight, she developed it a year or so ago & no one knows why. I don't know if these pictures are very good but can you see how her tail fins are a...

Fish 1(long, cylindrical, white belly) : I've had two of these fish for quite some time & unfortunately his female died a year or so ago. I'd love to get another because he does seem a bit lonely, but I've got no idea what species he is. I haven't seen any fish like him since I bought him so...

I've added 7 new fish to my tank in the past week, I've done a brief water change, added a few more stones, plants & general decor today. All was well until I noticed one of my catfish (which I can't remember the species name) seems to have a thick, white mucus growing over his entire body...
